This is my last day of posting a daily scrapbook, with school coming up i'm going to focus more on my studies (I am severely behind).
Happy to have a spot in the all time leaderboard, and will still occasionally post things if i find it eventful

Happy to have a spot in the all time leaderboard, and will still occasionally post things if i find it eventful
#w-of-the-day day 228
Achool hasn’t even begun and im already sorely busy with schoolwork
#w-of-the-day day 227
installed jellyfin today, been looking for a place to store my course videos and music and access it from anywhere (i just wanted to try it out)
#w-of-the-day day 226
went through assignments but i spent the other half of my day going through different css courses to see which one is actually helpful because i am struggling with this language.
#w-of-the-day day 224
Grinded through assignments and notes today, i have a lot to go through 🙃
#w-of-the-day day 224
Went out with family today again, last week of summer before school reopens so i finished up al my due homework
#w-of-the-day day 223
more coding practice, Using tailwind cause its much easier and mobile first
#w-of-the-day day 222
Went out so not much today, caught up on n&w’s lab today and worked more on my web app
#w-of-the-day day 221
today i learnt the basics of UI designing and figma, trying to work out a proper prototype for n&w s4
designing interfaces is not as simple as i thought it would be
#w-of-the-day day 220
today i learnt how to create my own react hooks, among other things in the react egghead course which is amazing
#w-of-the-day day 219
#w-of-the-day day 219
I mostly practised typescript today, but I've just submitted my idea for n&w s4. feedback gladly welcome
#w-of-the-day day 218
A little bit late but i got accepted to nights and weekends season 4, I applied to it way back and completely forgot about it until now, I'm still not sure if I'm going to full send it but I've decided to give it a go.
#w-of-the-day day 217
Went out today and had dinner with family so didn’t do a lot
#w-of-the-day day 216
Went out today and had dinner with family so didn’t do a lot
#w-of-the-day day 216
I still don't understand how should i implement multiplayer so just more practice with typescript and react. Went through documentation and a lot blogs of supabase realtime
#w-of-the-day day 215
Mostly busy with chores today, read up and used supabase auth and its reatime functions, pretty cool
#w-of-the-day day 214
More nextjs practice, I've got a pretty good idea as to work on so that's what i did. feels really good to finally be able to understand and write react code
#w-of-the-day day 212
I was busy most of the day but i read up more on supabase and their realtime features. been wanting to try them for a while
#w-of-the-day day 212
Tinkered with mantine and its ui elements. Creating tables and image cards and such, i've got the hang of react now
#w-of-the-day day 211
With styling and css out of the way, i can finally get to using socket.io with next.
#w-of-the-day day 210
I decided to go with mantime as my go to UI library but turns out using it with nextjs 13 is much more complicated than before (apparently), lots of trouble-shooting later i can finally use it as needed.
#w-of-the-day day 209
There's some pretty awesome courses on egghead, I've mostly been learning and writing JSX but hopefully i can continue on using typescript.
#w-of-the-day day 209
Still pushing through the react course, Learnt how to use fetch with useEffect and how css styling works in react
#w-of-the-day day 208
More react. up until this point i only used the useState hook but i've started finding uses for the other ones too.
#w-of-the-day day 208
Practiced more of react components and css by making a couple of mockups.
#w-of-the-day day 207
Was busy mostly so didn't code much, read up and went through some tutorials for mui and other Ui component libraries
#w-of-the-day day 206
Went through some tutorials and walkthroughs to get better at reactjs, 1am energy
#w-of-the-day day 205
Learnt more about react hooks, i finally have a decent grasp so now I'm able to use external libraries, this makes using matterjs so much easier.
#w-of-the-day day 204
Didn’t do much as i went out with friends for a hangout
#w-of-the-day day 204
expanded and dived more into the nextjs file system, I expected to be completely different than svelte-kit but its mostly the same
#w-of-the-day day 203
Learnt the basics of typescript and how to use them with react/next. After a lot of brainstorming I finally have a good idea that's worth a project building, so started on that
#w-of-the-day day 202
Went out so didn’t do much but i started using nextjs today and been using it for some projects
#w-of-the-day day 201
was busy with housework mostly, learnt more about react props and state management (what?) and created a basic to-do list, nothing much
#w-of-the-day day 200
learning react, there's a ton of cool libraries i wanna use that are not in svelte so i'm sticking with it.
#w-of-the-day day 199
A bit of a side quest but my pihole works now, its janky but ill clean it up and give it a permanent place to stay, ADS be gone
#w-of-the-day day 199
A bit of a side quest but my pihole works now, its janky but ill clean it up and give it a permanent place to stay, ADS be gone
#w-of-the-day day 198
Class woes continue but I spent most of the day learning and practising css on codepen, among other things
I studied math mostly today, had a class that took up quite a lot of my time so i didn’t do anything much today, i used this time to fix my custom ios widgets from crashing
#w-of-the-day day 197
My falling letters poc example is complete, its awesome but i still haven't figured out how to actually deploy it yet
#w-of-the-day day 196
Uhh, movie. I went for out for a movie night with my friends today (best decision ever, always do movies at weekdays folks)
#w-of-the-day day 195
i had a very simple idea, letters falling from the top as you type them
what followed was a nightmare involving svgs, rendering and a whole lot of basic math. Matterjs (the library i use) doesn't have a renderer so I've resorted to using p5 to draw the letters for me its still janky but its a start
#w-of-the-day day 194
I was out mostly today however i coded a lot behind the scenes, pretty pic i took while out
#w-of-the-day day 193
Just quickly popping up to post, been extremely busy with house chores and went out so didn’t do anything at all, it was fun though
#w-of-the-day day 192
im top 5 on the scrapbook leaderboard
, I've got some big things coming up (possibly a ship) however after that I'll probably stop my daily streaks (maybe at 150, who knows)
#w-of-the-day day 191
not much today, did some more work on my website and practiced css (via codepen)
#w-of-the-day day 191
i spent the whole day going through the amazing svelte tutorial series while i just wanted to learn about stores, which i did, eventually.
#w-of-the-day day 191
Finally opened my book after 2 full weeks and Studied math. I’ve forgotten everything 🙃
#w-of-the-day 189
I love the matter.js library now but i spent most of the day running pesonal errands so i didnt code much, made a simple POC as a personal boilerplate and learnt more about responsive layouts (i need this)
#w-of-the-day day 188
last minute energy into full swing
, submitted my proposal for #jams and tinkered more with matter.js
#w-of-the-day day 187
my day was basically cut short as had issues with my audio so i spent a good chunk fixing that ( had a big driver update).
did some summer homework and just started on a last minute #jams proposal for matter.js.
This message contains interactive elements.
#w-of-the-day day 185
Still a bit unwell so didnt do much, Ive been cuztomizing my phone with a bunch of widgets and discovered scriptables (which let you create your own ios widgets), so checked that out
#w-of-the-day day 184
i was a bit unwell today so i didn't do much. That said i just found out i have free copilot access as i have the github education pack so i tried that out.
#w-of-the-day day 183
I was busy with personal errands today so not much, I've decided to not use tailwind or any css library and yeah this is pretty complicated.
#w-of-the-day day 182
More sveltekit, I have spent hours figuring out how to make socket.io (or any websocket library) work with it, its really complicated for me
#w-of-the-day day 181
(Random pic as I’ve gone to bed early). I’m making a new svelte-kit based side project so i worked on that for most of the day
#w-of-the-day day 180
Went outside so didnt do a lot, however i did decide to tinker with ish (a linux shell for ios phones).
#w-of-the-day day 179
behold, my flag submission(s) for outernet
The color scheme is mainly from the outernet website along with the base color of the Vermont flag. With the iconic hack club flag soaring above the mountains indicating their takeover of the northeast kingdom
I mainly followed CGP grey's state flag video rules and tbh it looks pretty cool, might try a few different designs tomorrow.
#w-of-the-day day 179
Went out again today for some last minute shopping (sigh) so didn’t do much
#w-of-the-day day 178
anyone want some #jams? I've got a pretty good idea going so i decided to apply for the workshop bounty
still not ready yet though
#w-of-the-day day 176
Today was the first full day of summer and it went great. Did nothing special but I'm done with some of my assignments which is always a relief
also I started my visa application for #outernet (first time doing this
)
#w-of-the-day day 175
SCHOOL IS OUT, summer vacation officially begins tomorrow
I've got the initial green light for #outernet, applied for a stipend (if approved I'm 90% sure that be in vermont :D)
We had a party today so came home exhausted. More importantly I made a checklist for all assignments I'm supposed to complete (don't let the pic fool you its a LOT).
#w-of-the-day day 174
ANIME CS!!, this game has been in my eyes for quite a long time and I've finally been able to play it. AND its, okay i guess?
#w-of-the-day day 173
We went on a school trip today (no pictures didn't take any) so pretty much was tired, I was recommended about a programming game so i decided to check it out
#w-of-the-day day 173
exams over :D, summer break begins and i've got tons of stuff planned, didn't do much today though as I was tired. Just solved some C++ and python problems.
#w-of-the-day day 171
Last exam tomorrow, had to study English since I basically put it in the backseat for the past 6 months, still gonna do good
#w-of-the-day day 170
2 more exams remain and then I’m done, pretty much studied chemistry all day nothing else
#w-of-the-day day 167
Mostly studied for chemistry, that’s it
#w-of-the-day day 168
Spring clean complete, my files are organized all the clutter is gone now. Installing .NET again to build a desktop app
#w-of-the-day day 167
ultra rare 3 day weekend coming up for me but i have chemistry exam next so no use
.
I spent most the day sorting through my files to clean up the mess that is my windows partition.
#w-of-the-day day 166
It’s late in the night as I type this math exam tommorow so I put the whole day into solving differentiation problems
#w-of-the-day day 165
Exam fever continues. Mostly studied math even though I have computer science tomorrow
however i did decide to give it some love and actually revise the theory parts for once
#w-of-the-day day 164
Physics Exam tommorow
, so I spent the entire day studying. We also have like another 2 experiments due so worked on that
Pic taken from my school cause I kept forgetting the connections, what the hell is this anyway???
#w-of-the-day day 163
mostly studied for exams today (physics and a bit of math) but i've taking notes and learning more about pcb's lately for #onboard
#w-of-the-day day 162
Finished with 2 of my assignments and studied mostly the whole day (chocolate milk for good luck)
#w-of-the-day day 161
Installed and played around with flutter as I wanted to try it out. Although i spent most of the day studying i've still got a itch for programming
#w-of-the-day day 160
Barely scraping through my assignment deadlines. I have 2 experiments due tomorrow so had to spend the entire the day writing and completing them.
Can’t wait for summer tbh
#w-of-the-day day 159
Summer's approaching, that means its time for unnecessary but important school projects season
I have to complete a project for each subject of mine so i'm starting early

#w-of-the-day day 158
More college research. I've got a pretty good idea now and currently compiling a list of scholarships along with sites i might use for various reasons
#w-of-the-day day 157
Mostly studied physics and chemistry, Spent quite a while watching the WWDC keynote
#w-of-the-day day 156
Mostly today was all about college research. Along with the US i'm also currently planning on applying for colleges in other countries so I'm making myself a little organized list
#w-of-the-day day 155
Done with my assignments phew, I have a bit more of neglected classwork to complete but that’s not important
#w-of-the-day day 154
Assignment backlog continues, completed 1 of 3 pending physics experiments. Took an entire day
#w-of-the-day day 153
All my personal projects are on hold while i get my life under control, I've just been reminded of the backlog of assignments I have 🙃 , starting with computer science.
installed MYSQL as thats what were supposed to use and began working on my school project
#w-of-the-day day 152
I thought I had it figured out but the pihole is giving me more problems than I thought, didn’t figure out the problem though since I had to study math for a good while
#w-of-the-day day 151
I am installing pi-hole. My rpi4 has been laying dormant and i wanted to find some use for it so i finally decided to install pi=hole and nuke all ads.
Gonna see if my family notice any difference whie using their devices

#w-of-the-day day 150
pretty sure the first and last message I'm sending today in the slack, I didn't do much other than solve a hella lot of math questions today
#w-of-the-day day 149
End of the weekend, not pretty eventfull tbh but needed the sleep
I mostly worked on physics and tabletime (my side project which aims to be a timetable creation tool), had to finish this school project so worked on that
#w-of-the-day day 148
Not an eventful day tbh, Did my homework and coded a while. That said I may or not have been carried away by the science behind smell because of a youtube video.
#w-of-the-day day 147
Its Friday, another 2 days of relaxation
, Turns out rust is still wayyy behind for GUI development and go figure the only possible solution is to use Tauri, so that's what I did
other than that I finally played anime CS (literally cs but with agents and powers) but that was just one game.
#w-of-the-day day 146
I did quite some today but mostly was just studying (organic chem again this is cancer)
#w-of-the-day day 145
I did nothing today (procrastinate basically), I don’t know why I was just too tired. However I did finish my homework and also started working on a personal rust project, we’ll see how it goes
#w-of-the-day day 144
I did not play valorant today, instead I spent most of the time studying organic chemistry (what in gods given earth is this?)
Also I’ve joined the 100 day streak club 😎
#w-of-the-day day 143
it turns out the one app i installed windows for (Bluebook for SAT) has an ipad app lol. So probably gonna nuke it soon
But before that, i wanna try all fps games to see if they're any good. I had to mostly study for an organic chemistry test tmrw (i think?) so it was the perfect time to install anime-CSGO and CS. gonna try it out tommorow
#w-of-the-day day 142
The weekend was pretty good. I spent a considerable chunk of time debugging windows but mostly just studied. Ending the day with a SpaceX mission launch that I probably won't be awake to see it
#w-of-the-day day 141
Not how I wanted to end my day on, My Laptop blue screened for the first time ever and has gone on a endless windows update loop, got it fixed just now (eugh can’t wait to get rid of this bloatware)
Other than yeah not much, I’ve got a good knack for rust and have been practicing it for the past few days, also attended the #burrow weekly call which was insightful
#w-of-the-day day 140
Bouta speedrun the Weekend fr .Played minecraft all day and went through through some rust vidoes.
#w-of-the-day day 139
I revisited my scrapbook page today and I've just realized that I have miscounted my day counter by 1 day
. No time to fix it though since I spent the entire studying physics
#w-of-the-day day 136
Tests went well but I’m srsly tired today, did my physics homework and nothing else, I got my class an extra of studying for the physics test (this was my way of saying thanks)
#w-of-the-day day 137
more physics, I also have a comp sci and math test tomorrow but they're not that tough as compared to physics, nothing else today (jus trying to survive through this week tbh)
#w-of-the-day day 136
Today was, a day. Went by pretty fast tbh.
I got to studying for a physics test tommorow but by the power of friendship and charger we somehow managed to postpone it to Thursday, yay
Also full power mode on C++, solved some advent of code challenges in it
#w-of-the-day day 135
Good fun but back at home now, really tired to do anything so Just did my math homework and watched a lot of Youtube vids
#w-of-the-day day 134
Today was a fun day. I basically took every mode of public transport touring dubai. Did absolutely nothing productive but had a lot fun
PS: the first picture is me in front of the worlds largest Ferris wheel. it’s been closed for a full year and still no ETA to when it will reopen
#w-of-the-day day 133
Yeah it was a L day today, I’m out for the weekend so no studies/coding. I’ve downloaded a couple of c++ and school textbooks in the offchance I get bored (which I did)
#w-of-the-day day 132
got sick again 👍 , not going to school tomorrow so that's a plus but i'm gonna take a rest. I need it.
For some odd reason I decided to pick up chess again, got absolutely obliterated.
#w-of-the-day day 131
Mostly studied math and physics today (have some homework to complete). some C++ tutorials too
#w-of-the-day day 130
came from school late so I didn’t have the energy to do anything today, the heat is picking up too
In other news, I’m back down to an average of 2 hours of phone usage
#w-of-the-day day 129
More C++, i've signed up myself up for a school competition to see how far i can take C++ skills (also as a mild excuse to get a break from physics pain but we don't talk about that)
got a small math test tomorrow so studied for it, nothing else
#w-of-the-day day 128
guests came home today so was away from pc for quite a while, did some more C++ problems (I actually got the hang of this. new career path incoming????)
#w-of-the-day day 127
yup my css-fu is definitely borked. Solved some C++ excersises fo a change today (that is after going through a windows debugging session)
#w-of-the-day day 126
hitting stage 1 of burnout due to lack of sleep. I really wanted to make progress on something but gahh css is my cryptonite, which sucks cause I have such a great idea and design and planned out but literally no clue on how to actually code it
most of my day went going through css tutorials. Also setup my domain to use github pages and that's about it.
#w-of-the-day day 125
Most of my day was spent studying for math and physics
I have no idea what I just did, but I did it and that’s what counts
#w-of-the-day day 124
I spent 3 hours fixing my development setup today. I downloaded 2 of the same versions of node and that caused a bunch of symlink errors in WSL that I had to manually fix. And now astro is broken too
.
i miss fedora
#w-of-the-day day 122
I thought I would work more on my school project today but node decided to break so it took me a good amount of time to fix it. so i spent debugging, nothing more:/
#w-of-the-day day 122
Studies and more coding (albeit it was web dev not rust this time), I’ve also been using my phone a lot lately since I prefer studying from my phone than my laptop. But yeah my screen time is racking up :/
#w-of-the-day day 121
And just like that the weekend is over
Mostly studied physics today cause I promised myself to do great in tomorrow’s test (why do I do this to myself)
#w-of-the-day day 120
Today was a banger, Productivity was through the roof today, I’ve finished most of my physics lesson plans and have basically near to completing the rust book
Also went out for a barbecue, that was fun.
It’s amazing how a good nights sleep can do for you
#w-of-the-day day 119
the weekend is here, but it will probably cut short since i have to study for physics (again), that said i made a lot of progress at learning rust (pic not explicit i took it a while ago)
#w-of-the-day day 118
today i just procrastinated lmao, i didn't have the energy or interest to do anything today
that said I've finally gone about setting up my WSL config (this took way longer than i expected)
#w-of-the-day day 117
ok small post since I'm really tired, i aced my math test with a near perfect score and so that's awesome, other than school i didn't do anything other than watching youtube videos and solving some more rustlings exercises
#w-of-the-day day 115
Test update: Physics went ok I guess but chemistry was a complete disaster class (which is seriously disappointing cause I studied so hard for it :/)
Anyway I have and English tommorow so spent the whole day just practicing math
#w-of-the-day day 115

#w-of-the-day day 114
Ok so good news, I did not have a physics test today
Bad news, I have a physics AND CHEMISTRY test tommorow,
with math and English on Wednesday
and comp Sci on Thursday
AAAAAAAAAAAA
#w-of-the-day day 113
At the time of this writing, I currently have longest active scrapbook streak among all of hack club
thanks to THE GREAT RESET by scrappy
Most of my time today was consumed by physics (help) although I did speedrun through some rustlings exercises
#w-of-the-day day 112
Today was a chill day, was outside most of the time so didn’t do much
#w-of-the-day day 111
Just like that Ramadan comes to a close, we were extremely tired since we came back late night from shopping so we’ve postponed our eid plans to Saturday, watched a movie and got android studio setup.
#w-of-the-day day 110
EID Mubarak to all fellow Muslim hack clubbers here, may all of you have a blessed weekend ahead .
Final round of shopping ended today and I'm exhausted, other than that i watched the starship rocket go boom and am installing android studio, really wanna see if WSA is any better before I switch back to fedora 38
#w-of-the-day day 109
Schools out (again :D) another long weekend coming up as we prepare for Eid
Went out shopping w parents for the occasion
#w-of-the-day day 108
Uhh to be quite frank I did nothing today (like literally I was asleep the entire day)
But LETS GO 2nd place in the leaderboard
#w-of-the-day day 107
Oh man this is gettin hard, I’ve had to stay up till 2 again so I could finish my chem homework and my school project, nothing else today
#w-of-the-day day 106
I attended the Artmatr AMA today and honestly I was really intrigued behind the workings of their projects, gonna look into them further
Other than that I mostly studied physics (not really) and wrote a speech to present to my class
#w-of-the-day day 105
2am scrapbook energy, did quite a lot of things today, play minecraft, study chemistry (help) and also did some more work on my figma design.
todays most notable moment was fixing a typo in chocolatey's docs page, its always the little things that make us happy
#w-of-the-day day 104
weekends coming up and we had online classes today (yes it still is a thing), so lots of free time.
Been trying out figma for designing and prototyping a few ideas and did a lot of app customization since I forgot to backup my .config files 🗿
#w-of-the-day day 103
Most of my time went on studying and tweaking a lot of windows settings to suit my keyboard first layout
but hey i've got myself a fancy animated wallpaper#w-of-the-day day 102
Finally time to trouble shoot my iphone. I've got a few knacks with it currently (one of them being my isp blissfully sim locking the phone for no reason whatsoever) so had to do a physical backup
#w-of-the-day day 101
I'M back on windows, and just so i can install itunes 🙃.
This took a while but surprisingly was easy, so far everything is smooth sailing (apart from the audio not working but a windows update solved that), I'll stay on here until fedora 38 hits stable.
#w-of-the-day day 100
TRIPLE DIGITS WOO, i have nothing good to show for today since i mostly only studied chemistry (and forgot to pic), Also some more minecraft
#w-of-the-day day 99
last double digit scrapbook post, last day of spring break :(
i played minecraft the whole day today and sorted all my books for tomorrow. I am so not looking forward to this
#w-of-the-day day 98
redid my scrapbook page again, it looks so much nicer.
I'm going for a tokyo-esque feeling with the music and all the but colors could do a little change, really happy with it though
#w-of-the-day day 97
The cold got worse but after a long grueling day of laying down and doing nothing I’m feeling a tad bit better now
I’ve mostly avoided using my phone today (the whole week actually) so I’m really happy for that
Parents still think it’s too much xD
#w-of-the-day day 96
caught a cold so i really didn't do anything at all today, sorted through my files and deleted all useless projects and packages (they were a lot), also downloaded windows
#w-of-the-day day 95
Guess who ruined his sleep schedule with school starting on monday, MEE
Did some organic chemistry revison and some more pygame coding (damn i need to write better scrapbook posts)
#w-of-the-day day 93
i have school starting on monday so i had to buy books and stuff. couldn't anything much :/, i've got all graphics sorted and started coding the game (spoiler: i have no idea what i'm doing)
#w-of-the-day day 93
Some more pygame learning and a lot off off camera studying, i've got a rough idea of what i want the game to be like so that's a plus (basically portals and pong combined ill explain it later gtg to sleep)
#w-of-the-day day 92
Played a bit of minecraft and watched a few tutorials on python (i'm learning pygame currently)
#w-of-the-day day 91
Went out so i did nothing much, played a bit of minecraft and more college research
#w-of-the-day day 90
So, My internet has been pretty much dead for the past few hours ( still is ). I’m currently on data just to post and save my streak
#w-of-the-day day 89
Did a lot of physics and some sat practice, nothing much today
#w-of-the-day day 88
Today i didn't do much, just procrastination and more college research
that said i was looking for some domain names for myself and turns out I've already got a good one (i don't remember when though) along with a domain for a now defunct game i was working on. I should probably check it out again
#w-of-the-day day 87
I did a little bit of everything today, schoolwork, coding but mostly sat practice
#w-of-the-day day 86
After a straight streak of studying i managed to finally get some headway and do some lovely coding, .
Couple of sveltekit tutorials and going through redis docs was on my menu today.
#w-of-the-day day 86
After a straight streak of studying i managed to finally get some headway and do some lovely coding, i've been more on the do learning side of things rather than actual projects but i have some ideas in mind. So i am learning redis to see if it will fit for one of my apps
#w-of-the-day day 85
More studying, the SAT English passages are an eyesore (especially the history ones
) also brushing up on my math skills and doing schoolwork
#w-of-the-day day 84
I'm taking the SAT (registration still pending), 6 weeks till the may sat so I've begun studying starting with khan academy's excellent course (thank you sal
).
Its quite a struggle doing this while also balancing my schoolwork but i'll cope through.
#w-of-the-day day 83
Complete Streak saving post lmao, I went out today so I did nothing post worthy
#w-of-the-day day 82
i'm making this post in 5am i have no clue if i've kept my streak or not but anyway
. ESPR applications have opened so i began my application, Also some more college research
today is the last day of school before spring break
#w-of-the-day day 81
Ramadan Kareem 🌙 , today marks the start of a special month for Muslims all around the globe.
I was out the entire day prepping up for the month ahead and shopping, I’ve just come back home and I’m exhausted
Worst part is that i still have 2 more days of school
, but I’ll cope through
PS: apple’s low light photography is insane, this pic was taken In Pitch black not even joking 🤯
#w-of-the-day day 80
I bought myself some new chemistry lab drip,
We were supposed to have a lab session today but for some reason the one teacher that had a perfect attendance record was absent today :/
BUT 3 more days till spring break
, looking forward to having some downtime honestly
#w-of-the-day day 79
I went out today to buy my textbooks and also do some shopping 🛍️ . Studying Grind mode starts soon
#w-of-the-day day 78
Not me writing my physics notes all over again in a different notebook
, I’m kinda confident about physics so hopefully it goes well
Also I’m now in the top 3 of the streak leaderboard
#w-of-the-day day 77
My Day was fine until my physics teacher mailed my parents to let them know I have a physics test on Monday
Had to halt my hackathon project so rip that, although I ate out today and had some sweet ice cream, so all in all a W day
#w-of-the-day day 76
Did some more realtime experiments, apparently redis has realtime support and can also act as a primary database?.
#w-of-the-day day 75
finally touched vscode after a long hiatus, i'm gonna try my best to finish mlh hackathon project for once. its a multiplayer game so i tried a bunch of realtime libraries to see which one is easy to use
#w-of-the-day day 74
I am sleep deprived (slept for like 5 hours) and I have a chem test tomorrow, studied as much as I could and gonna go sleep early so I can make up for lost time
#w-of-the-day day 73
No fruitful update today,i just play a lot of mincraft
got a couple of stuff i wanna build on the server so i'm now kitted out to be able to do so
(psst: you guys should join too, #minecraft)
#w-of-the-day day 72
More presentation work, Its still far from done and i have to submit/present it by tomorrow 🗿
gonna wake up early and hopefully finish this off.
also i got lucky and the physics test was postponed to a later date so
#w-of-the-day day 71
procrastination got the better of me today, although i've made progress in my pitch deck, its coming along well
also physics test tommorow so wish me luck
#w-of-the-day day 70
ok this is the real day 70. Yesterday's post was day 69 (nice) but i made an oopsie.
i didn't do anything today other than study physics. i've turned to powerpoint to help me create a pitch deck but i didn't do anything other than checking out themes today,
have to be gonna be productive tomorrow and finish a bunch of tasks hopefully 🤞
#w-of-the-day day 70
Did a bit of everything today, studied for physics test on Monday and also continue working on my mini project.
Also I hit Top 3 in the scrapbook leaderboard for the first time
, I’m coming for that number 1
#w-of-the-day day 68
i studied a bit of everything today, chem, math, physics.
Tried out redis today, looks promising for me
#w-of-the-day day 67
Its the senior meaning its also my turn to go through the college application roller-coaster, i made a initial college list and attended a tufts virtual open day. I came late from school so that's all i could do (and studying chem)
#w-of-the-day day 66
Organic chemistry just got 10 times harder, but I still somehow have it wrapped around my head
Hopefully it stays the same the entire year, Aiming be the valedictorian this year
#w-of-the-day day 65
fuck apple, that's all i'll say
#w-of-the-day day 64
Tomorrow marks the start of my senior year of high school, 12 years of math and science comes down to the final year. Really excited (but also scared, mostly excited though) .
and as to what i did today, uhm. not much, i finished my mob farm in minecraft, i'm also working on a script for an elvator pitch for my app idea so that's something i guess.
also i have to apply to colleges this year, looking forward to that \\_
#w-of-the-day day 63
I'm building a mob farm in the hack club minecraft server, gonna get it up and running tomorrow (if i play mc tmrw that is)
did some more reading coding on websockets, really tryna wrap my head around it but i'll cope through
#w-of-the-day day 62
Today i learnt about websockets and multiplayer networking in general, there's this new idea i have that i wanna make a game for. Might try to finish it and submit to an online hackathon but we'll see
#w-of-the-day day 61
Finally tried out chatgpt, Holy shit this bot's seriously good, all the code that would take me minutes or hours to figure out in minutes, absolutely in awe over this thing
that said i still love my creativity so i probably stick to myself for ideas. This thing will definitely be useful in the future though
#w-of-the-day day 60
after 3 absolutely grueling, it is with great pleasure to announce that HELL YEAH I'M DONE WITH EXAMS. I now have a week break before senior years starts.
I wanna take part in this years reply challenge so I've begun solving old advent of code challenges to brush up my coding, and also a bit of minecraft.
#w-of-the-day day 59
last day of exams tommorow
, wanted to pizzaz my scrapbook profile so i took some help using the scrapbook css workshop to have a rough idea of how things work
(profile is not final, i need a better color scheme xD)
#w-of-the-day day 58
well that's it for exams (one more left being english but that's literally cupcakes).
extremely tired so just played a bit of minecraft
#w-of-the-day day 57
The last exam tomorrow (physics) and then I’m done with exams
#w-of-the-day day 56
nothing today other than minecraft, full diamond gear now and a lot of resources, probably not gonna get on for the next 2 days though (keyword being probably)
#w-of-the-day day 55
I spent 3 whole days for math and math only but in the end it was worth it 😎 , i'm running on 3 hours of sleep so no productive stuff today
Here's me in the hc #minecraft server (you guys should join imho).
#w-of-the-day day 54
#hardware-party day 1010
It’s actually the next day but by the power of time zones I still get to keep my streak
Late night math (I hate studying late night but this exam is important so gotta do it)
#w-of-the-day day 53
#hardware-party day 1001
nothing today other than studying math
#w-of-the-day day 51
#hardware-party day 1001
I did not use a soldering iron and quite frankly i don't think i will. Math is devouring me rn (Khan academy quizzes is the only thing keeping my cool), no progress today.
#w-of-the-day day 51
#hardware-party day 0111
flunked chemistry (well not flunked LITERALLY, but just wrote a disappointing paper)
anyway no time to grieve i have math in 3 days and I've got to finish this project too.
I got myself an astro blog running as i plan on writing a blog regarding my project, and watched a lot of soldering videos. gonna wake up early tomorrow (hopefully) and so try soldering for the first time 🤞
#w-of-the-day day 50
#hardware-party day 0110
My cat printer woes continue, I've compared quite a lot of libraries (active and otherwise) and i think I've decided which library i wanna use.
Anyway Chemistry exam tomorrow so wish me luck, i spent wayy too long studying so 🤞 i do good
#w-of-the-day day 49
#hardware-party day 0101
Time to Tackle the hardest part of the whole project
THE PRINTER
This mini printer has barely a few libraries that I have to work with, and this definitely ain’t helping with the fact that I spent the whole day learning chemistry ( what the hell is ethanenitrile anyway?)
Halfway through the event, gonna have to pick up the pace, I’ve got something though so that’s progress
#w-of-the-day day 48
#hardware-party day 0100
i got called up to school to receive an award, that was fun but that took a whopping 8 hours so no progress today.
besides, how on earth do i read this rst code?
i might have to either
a: rewrite the code in node and use trello's official library, or
b: use the API directly which is going to be a lot of junk code
oh well future me will figure it out
#w-of-the-day day 47
#hardware-party day 0011
had an exam today so returned home tired, still did some coding
i found a undocumented python wrapper for the trello API so gonna use that now.
#w-of-the-day day 46
#hardware-party day 0010
It’s exam time and balancing has been pretty tropsy turvy but I managed to make some progress
Finally figured out how to use the hall sensor with the rpi (gpiozero sucks) and modified yesterdays button board to now work with magnets
All my code (working, garbage and otherwise) are now available at github.com/zeroqli/IOT-trello-board#w-of-the-day day 45
hardware party - day 0001
ITS TIME TO PARTY
And so it begins, going through trello's (actually meh) api documentation i've made a simple card mover that works with buttons, the buttons
I wish I could show you it working but it’s 11pm and everybody is asleep so it’s lights out, so here’s a pic
electronics and coffee, a midsummer dream
#w-of-the-day day 44
more studies, physics this time. Binge watched a few episodes of sherlock the tv show (is this what people call procrastination?)
#w-of-the-day day 43
Absolutely nothing today, studied for exams I guess (but barely)
Just watched some esports
#w-of-the-day day 41 and 42
day 41:
lost my scrapbook streak again though thanks to missing day 41, had fun speaking to fellow hackclubbers during the #hardware-party meeting call.
42:
CHEMISTRY
exams start soon so started revising the whole lot starting with chemistry ,whooped up my trello board from the ashes to sort everything and to try to be productive, hopefully it works out 🤞
#w-of-the-day day 40
i really thought i could some good stuff today but man i got tired fast
did some hardware hackyness and studied physics, attached is a hall sensor working as intended
#w-of-the-day day 39
only school studies today, finished my chemistry notes and prepared for my test tintype, wish me luck
#w-of-the-day day 38
THE MAC WORKED (for like 20 minutes before i decided to shut it down), didn't do anything else since i'm in study central
#w-of-the-day day 37
i'm installing mac os on my pc. I need this for the sole reason of app development (android emulators suck for me and i have an iphone)
will update when/if it suceeds
#w-of-the-day day 36
didnt right a single bit of code today, but made some educational progress (studies and hw).
anyway here's a picture of jeff from roblox doors saying hi
#w-of-the-day day 35
ya boy got a soldering iron, also made a valiant attempt at completing an mlh hackathon project (time is ticking and I don't even have a game loop ready xD)
final package for #hardware-party arrived :D
( not really theres one more item left even though i explicity told them to ship tyem all together
)
#w-of-the-day day 34
started on a personal project, and did some light coding. (this habit is getting harder to maintain ngl)
#w-of-the-day day 33
more ELECtrONicS
its the weekend so its all about fun, did a lot of toying with hardware#w-of-the-day day 32
ELECtrONicS!!!!
i spent like 3 hours configuring my rpi to work with a rdp connection to my ipad for convenience, and made this basic connection
its a start of something, something big :D
#w-of-the-day day 31
my winterlings search bar woes continue, I've tried like 3 different libraries but they're either wayy above my head or just not working
also finally ordered the final parts of my #hardware-party projects
#w-of-the-day day 30
i full month :D (streak for reset due to time zones but eh)
not much, sorted through my electronics stack and did some studying (this is a lie)
all my components now nearty fit into these boxes, now onto labeling them
#w-of-the-day day 29
nothing much since school tommorow and a physics test too, i did sort all my electronics though so thats a win
#w-of-the-day day 28
oops, streak reset :p, didn't do much anyway since i was away for like almost the entire day
#w-of-the-day day 27
i did nothing today, just did some makeshift coding on winterlings and fixing a bunch of stuff on others #hardware-party proposals.
i have no picture to show for it but i will give this out of context image of the comments on one of my recent pull requests
#w-of-the-day day 26
it rained
a lot
also booted up my rpi for the 1st time (works like a charm) and did some shenanigans, no detailed pics cause im exhausted today
#w-of-the-day day 25
i am now a proud owner of a raspberry pi.
along with several other items for my #hardware-party project
thank you OH SO MUCH hack club for this oppurtunity
oh and i also went to a coding comp today but we dont talk about that
#w-of-the-day day 24
took a nap (amazing experience 10/10) and did some 2021 advent of code exercises. my #hardware-party items were supposed to come today but didn't arrive unfortunately :/
#w-of-the-day day 23
did absolutely nothing today (just of those days) but i got some hack club mail :D
also enabled screen time on my phone and boy its getting concerning (don't let the numbers fill you)
I’ve got mail !
Emirates Post broke my lamp
, but got some pet cool stickers
#w-of-the-day day 22
Finally able to deploy winterlings to vercel without any hitches, so i can finally get a dino.icu subdomain and i'm also adding a search component to make it easier to find your projects.
check it out at winterlings.vercel.app, it works in phones too (although the css is still wonky imo)
Also school tomorrow so rip productivity
#w-of-the-day day 21
today was a good day, did some major work on winterlings and chatted a lot in #hack-night (ya'll should join too),
also may have commit spammed the hc winter repo trying to fix markdown files :p
just gotta finish the pop-up modal and i'm ready to sail this thing to the seas :D
#w-of-the-day day 20
got my #hardware-party grant approved and ordered some my items right away (processing so
that is goes through without a hitch)
#w-of-the-day day 20
did some work on winterlings, it can now display projects with multiple members too
, completely exhausted my github rate limit and now gonna have to authenticate (idk how, tomorrow me will handle it though np)
#w-of-the-day day 18
my #hardware-party project got approved
, so now its just a matter of getting it merged :D
tipped it of by working on winterlings
trying to figure how can i elegantly display team projects, this is gonna be much complicated than i thought :p
#w-of-the-day day 17
complete my (probably) final reiteration of my #hardware-party project. I wanted wanted nfc support badly (for both this project and something else) so i adjusted a few things to be able to get it
now hoping that nothing goes out of stock
#w-of-the-day day 16
did some C++ and cleaned up my home folder
#w-of-the-day day 15
submitted my #hardware-party proposal, did it yesterday actually but forgot to post about it
#w-of-the-day day 14
after 15 days of waiting, i am now an owner of a glorious sprig console
thank you hack club team for this wonderfull piece of tech
#w-of-the-day day 13
its FRIDAY THEN,ITS SATRUDAY SUNDAY WHAAA?
its the weekend, meaning its time to finish my #hardware-party project
its 1 am as i write this so its technically day 14 but we don't talk about that
#w-of-the-day day 12
*guess who's getting a sprig*
my shipment has arrived to lovely dubai after a week-long hiatus in Switzerland (probably) and gonna get it on saturday :D
#w-of-the-day day 11
not much, did some coding problems and signed up for a codechef account
#w-of-the-day day 10
a very tiring day today (try going through 3 hours of math in one go)
did some more research on my #hardware-party project and did some physics homework (this is a lie),
not much done today but progress is progress so i'm feeling pretty good
personal opinion but Tuesday's are garbage
#w-of-the-day day 9 but not really cause SCHOOOOOOL!!!
not much happened cause, you know, SCHOOL
did some extra work on winterlings and did some coding problems cause why not
i'm gonna have to decide whether i'm taking part in #hardware-party or not, doesn't help since apparently my finals will begin at the same period of building the items
#w-of-the-day day 8
site's ready and builds fine locally,
but i have no clue why its not deploying in production
school tomorrow so gotta sleep early (pain) so gonna have to debug this later ugh
#w-of-the-day day 7
1 full week of progress, nice
i don't know why did i decide to rewrite the whole website in a completely different framework but i'm glad i did cause astro is MUCH better than sveltekit for SSG sites.
gonna add a nav bar to easily cycle through posts and see if i can somehow embed every users scrapbook tomorrow. deffo happy about my progress though#w-of-the-day day 6
its coming together, not long now
really thought i could ship my #hardware-party site today but debugging took wayy longer than expected (still couldn't figure out the solution lol)
btw i don't plan on using phantom sans and will switch the font for production
#w-of-the-day day 5
5 days already, cool
had to brush up on sveltekit's syntax for today, a lot changed since it hit 1.0 but i'm glad there's a stable release now and no more major changes will occur
#w-of-the-day day 4
not much, came late from school today so didn't get time to do anything
continued on winterlings (a makeshift frontend for viewing #hardware-party projects) and their progress using scrapbook
also the github search api is powerful damn
#w-of-the-day day 3
worked a bit on my sveltekit project and did (a lot) of homework
#w-of-the-day day 2
this is going to be harder than i thought
First day of school so i was extremely tired and couldn't do anything today. literally crashed in my bed upon returning
BUT i did finally decide on my #hardware-party project so that's a w for me
New year new me, gonna *try* to post a W for the next 365 days
at #w-of-the-day
day 1:
I finished my physics homework, and initialized the repo for a mini project of mine :D
Happy new year from the United Arab Emirates
slack didn't let me post in midnight
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
finished my sprig game and uploaded it to the gallery
ngl An organized workspace is oddly satisfying
my sprig game developing is spiraling out of control but still justt fine
its game jam time, after 3 days of "brainstorming", I've finally started coding.
This square is the start of something magical (and tiny)
